Catholics can't say anything,as they often have as many empty beer bottles as any neighbour. Well,our house always did.
Although not a believer at the time (my wife was ) I happily attended the "St Paul's Parish Annual Men's International Beer Tasting Evening" and got shitfaced for $15.The cost included eleventy two REAL sammies made by BLOKES! Several of the priests from the local monastery attended as guests,as did the Archbishop,who only got a little legless. (IE staggered but did not actually fall down) The priests got paralytic,a time honoured tradition with Catholic priests and free piss. I kid you not. Only time in my life I've ever rolled UP a hill on the way home
An explanation on intoxication: According to my dad,there are three levelsrunk (you fall down) VERY drunk (you can't get up) and dead drunk (you're unconscious) ME? I think you're drunk when you feel sophisticated but can't pronounce it.
Catholics are a different breed of Christian. Catholics don't seem to bother those that aren't Catholic. I have yet to have a Catholic come to me and try to make me take a Bible. They want to rule their members and force everyone who marries a Catholic person to become a member of the church. They then force them to make their children attend and this keeps their numbers up. They vote...but the Catholics I know voted for the casinos in KY and they vote for all of the wet issues in our counties. You know some KY counties prohibit alcohol sales? The Baptists want to keep it dry. I have a problem with Catholics because they do whatever the Pope tells them to do but I've never had one personally bother me. I have had Baptists, holy rollers, Jehovas Witnesses, and other crazy off the wall christian people to approach me and harass me.
